That seems so odd to me. Why don't they put a catch and kill regulation based on finding those 2 fish + the unconfirmed reports from anglers?
If they're really not in there, then the reg. won't hurt anything. If they are, it could help.
By the time they show up in significant numbers in gillnetting, it'll be far too late for catch and kill regulations to make a difference. Probably already is too late.
My dad caught a little 8 inch walleye in there last year while smallmouth and perch fishing at Rock Cliff from his canoe. They're reproducing all right.
